Celebrate World Health Day!

Celebrate World Health Day! Today is the day! Show your awareness for health and wellness. Today can be the new starting point for yourself as a personal goal. It can be the day you decide to stand up for anything you believe in, whether you want everyone in the world to be able to have clean drinking water, you're thinking of becoming vegan, maybe you want to give back to your community and start a garden to help the hungry. Maybe you've decided it's time to take back your health, so you're starting a new exercise routine, you're changing your eating habits, you're going to start meditating, and you've decided 8 hours of sleep is what you need to look and feel your best.Today is the day to take back your health and know that what you put in is what you get out. You can also make a difference in someone's life just by being there for them, offering a hand or your resources when you can, anything to give back. Health and wellness is something we all need to implement and take back for ourselves, our families, and for the world.This year's World Health Day focuses on depression. Depression affects any age, gender, race, in any country, and all walks of life. It has become a serious epidemic in our society. Mental health has been over looked for years and if we don't take a stand against it, it will consume our friends, families, our lives, and the world we live in.We often forget that mental and emotional health are huge factors in our health and wellness. Often we tend to focus on what we're eating, weight loss, and BMI. And we tend to forget to focus on personal time, healing, relaxation, reducing stress, enjoying the simple things, and getting rid of the toxic people and things in our lives that continue to make us unhappy and unhealthy.Today is your starting point to make a difference in your life as well as someone else's. Vow to eat one meal healthier, get outside for some movement and exercise, meditate even it's only for 3 minutes, turn off the tv and go to bed earlier, journal or read that book you've been putting off. Find time to heal your soul, clear your mind, and better yourself as a whole, not just little pieces of you.
